Intel Core i7-10700T vs Intel Core i7-7700K

Core i7-10700T vs Core i7-7700K comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-10700T beats the Core i7-7700K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7700K in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i7-10700T has significantly more cores than the Core i7-7700K. Indeed, the Core i7-10700T has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-7700K. It also has more threads than the Core i7-7700K. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-7700K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-10700T. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. A Core i7-10700T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-7700K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-10700T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
